Vintage 5 string Basses For sale

Five stringed bass’s provide a lower range of tuning, much like 4 stringed basses. Five stringed bass’s have five strings, and commonly use the ‘tenor tuning’ for when playing solo bass or jazz. They are also often used in metal and rock music alongside seven stringed guitars, baritone guitars and other instruments that are tuned down.

Five stringed basses allow a lower ranged sound when a low B or A is used, and a higher ranged sound when a high C is used, to a greater effect then the four stringed bass. The first ever made five string bass was the Fender Bass V, in 1965.
